The site selected for the four wind turbines lies at the centre of a 17km²-sector, approved by the Conférence Régionale Mer et Littoral de Bretagne (Brittany’s Regional Sea & Coast Conference). This more restricted perimeter offers greater compatibility with sea uses and restricts impact on the marine environment.

Architecture of the floating
wind turbines

The wind turbine float developed by Naval Energies and VINCI Construction France comprises four cylindrical steel columns designed to ensure buoyancy for the concrete baseplate that stabilises the structure. This float is anchored to the seabed with six anchor lines to hold the wind turbine in place and prevent drifting. The wind turbine developed by GE RENEWABLE ENERGY has a capacity of 6 MW equivalent to the electricity needs of 5,000 households. Several technological innovations have been implemented to adapt the wind turbine to a floating environment.
